Gray Hair Becoming Hot New Trend

(CANVAS STAFF REPORTS) - Put those tweezers down and stop plucking those gray hairs. Gray is the “it” color when it comes to hair fashion these days.

Celebrities such as Lady Gaga, Kate Moss and Kelly Osbourne have all been photographed sporting silvery locks.

And according to The Daily Mail , even '90s supermodel Kristen McMenamy has decided to let her hair go gray. She stopped dyeing it 6 years ago.

McMenamy is featured in the August issue of Vogue and told the magazine, “I thought all that gray hair would make a beautiful picture. You can get older and still be rock 'n' roll,” reported Styleist.com .

With all of these celebrities embracing the color gray, it seems that there is a trend to embrace aging instead of running from it as young people are flocking to salons requesting gray streaks and even to go completely gray.

The beauty and health director for British Vogue, Nicola Moulton, told The Telegraph , “ Stopping at nothing to look just a few years younger is starting to look dated itself … which is why I think we're seeing models and younger celebrities embracing things like wrinkles and a smattering of gray. The bottom line is, it doesn't stop a woman looking beautiful – on the contrary, it just makes her look more attractive by speaking volumes for her confidence.”

How long the trend stays around is tough to say, but the National Federation of Women's Institutes is optimistic by the variety of women being portrayed in the fashion world today.

Rod Stanley, editor of the magazine Dazed and Confused, told The Telegraph, “The trend for younger people dying their hair gray is a different thing in many ways, but of course that could make people more receptive to naturally gray hair in images.”
